Abstract:

Following the publication of national recommendations regarding the handling of implantable venous access ports, an observation audit was carried out in a hospital in 2013. This enabled an assessment of the existing system to be performed, current practices to be compared with the hospital’s protocol and adapted corrective measures to be put in place. A further audit carried out in 2015 was particularly encouraging.
